| Details | Which side are you on? That’s the question that every single person in Connecticut had to answer in 1775, as the thirteen colonies began a rebellion against British rule. Loyalty was not only a matter of words or opinion. For soldiers and civilians alike, loyalty could mean loss of fortune, of friends, and even of life. This presentation reveals stories— some well known, some obscure— of Nutmeggers who risked and sacrificed to support their chosen side. This fascinating historical exploration will be presented by Jen Busa, Public Programs and Special Events Coordinator at the Connecticut Museum of Culture and History. Jen develops and presents adult programs, as well as plans special events at the CMCH. She is a former middle school social studies teacher, with a B.A. in anthropology from the University of Connecticut and an M.A. in anthropology from the University of Minnesota. Registration is not required for this program. |
